Show off your Level 2 Home Charger installs here

This looks lovely! Have you used anything else besides the Autel? I'm awaiting my Rivian pick up and doing a deep dive into charging situations. I don't think I can hardwire because I'm moving from this house in a few months and it's probably not worth the cost. Looking for a good/mobile solution and I've had my eyes on this and the Chargepoint. Any insight is appreciated.

insights but I am very happy with my decision. I shopped for about a month while awaiting delivery of my R1S. Primary factor was the reviews of this units. Outdoor durability mentioned many places also on the YouTube channel SOC. I didn’t really want to use the cable under the garage door method. If you are looking at the hotel, check their website cause I got $100 discount directly from them versus what they had listed on Amazon.

To create a temporary charging setup, this typically involves the same amount of work as a permanent install (NEMA 14-50 vs. hardwire). Both will require a new circuit breaker and wiring to either unit. Depending on the breaker location and space available, the NEMA 14-50 (cheaper) would stay with the property, whereas the hardwire install would have you removing the unit and taking it to the next location. There are a ton of factors to consider in this scenario, but both require some coin.

After almost a year and half of ownership and cheating my R1T, I'm moving to a house without a garage. While the garage build is in the future (over a year away from that), I will be needing to set up a charging solution outdoors. I was previously charging in my garage with the Rivian home charger, and now will need to set up outdoors. Curious on others experience with the Rivian charger set up outdoors how it has held up. Iay e hooked it up to the charger once or twice a week at home.

I'm also debating setting up a plug for the travel charger instead of the hardwired, as we'll be moving the driveway to the other side of the house within the next year. Just like looking to the community answers/experience in this subject.

Also, secret work installation. Cleaned it up the next day to the bottom pictures so I wasn't running a cord across a room and parking next to a window on the grass. Holding strong after a year and $100.

No issues with mine outside for about 2 years. Mounted on the side of the workshop. It was mounted on the opposite side of the prevalent incoming weather direction. You could build a "lean-to" over the box - see pic of wife's tesla charger mounted at a pergola.
